Great Physical Changes in St. Vincent Because of Eruption
Scientists from Trinidad predict another eruption soon on St. Vincent as crater activity continues. May 9 dust and stones fell near Georgetown for two hours with a hot vapor cloud passing over the port. May 10 saw further eruptions, lava and smoke rise intermittently, making Soufriere hard to reach from the leeward side. Fissures appeared on La Soufriere and land losses transformed Walibou estate into an inlet while Richmond burned, leaving a ridge. Rabacci crater likely erupted at a distance with La Soufriere still caped by dark clouds and red flashes. Volcanic dust fell again but heavy rains washed it away.
